i made a slight alteration to your build, opting for more control, better sustain through spreading out evades (ST AD instead of SD AT).
Runes changed to Water (+20% boon duration, passive condi cleanse every 25 sec, roughly 1400 HP extra when using healing skill).I also changed from +33% regen duration, to Protection when taking more then 10% HP in one strike. This trait was selected because it really helps VS burst setups. Offering you crucial defense VS direct damage. With the added 20% boon duration, you can get 98% uptime of regeneration, you really only have 1.2 seconds downtime at worst.
Other runes to consider:
Krait
Aristocracy (Dungeon runes)
Trooper/Soldier (remove 1 condi on shout)
Forgeman (Dungeon runes), very good for defense.For food i suggest you use one of the foods offered during the current Lunar New Year event. It is called http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Sweet_Bean_Bun
Stock up on these. They cost a bit on the TP, but as you can see. +25% duration (outgoing) and -40% (incoming) is the best defensive/offensive food available at this moment.
pro tip:
If you feel like buying loads of these is a hassle. convert gold to gems and cash in on the current sale on metabolic primers. Activate one of these prior to using any food, and the food will have its duration increased from whatever it was up till 12 hours.
awesome ty for feedback, i’ll have to test it out. I really must have been tired cause I been running S/T & A/D last 2 days. Not sure why I entered the opposite.
I would switch oak heart salve to offhand training. you already have plenty if regen up time.
For pets I’d go with wolf and a dps pet like cat or bird. Ravens blind comes in handy for stomping people
TY for tip on the pets. I actually meant to use offhand training and must have hit oak heart by accident.
Hey All,
So before I get annihilated with feedback i’ll give you my Ranger backround. I roughly have 2500 hours played in GW2 with less than 200 on my ranger. The other 2300 is on my Mesmer lol.
Lately I been playing with my ranger (mostly LB/GS) and been really enjoying it. However that being said I’m the type of person who doesn’t like to play the norm. Seems most builds involve a LB or GS if not both.
I decided to work on a shout heal build and got a lot of ideas and feedback from the forums and just had 2 questions.
1 – looking at this build what pets would you use and why?
2 – any feedback or suggestions on my setup?

I like the build. I run something similar.
What I have differently is I run Retaliatory Shield over Desperate Decoy for the retaliation. Also run Chaotic Dampening instead of Cleansing Inscription for the toughness and staff CD.
Runes I run Nightmare runes (just a fan favourite) between the 2 I guess traveller would be a better option for mobility reasons.
Armor I personally run a mix of Rabid and Dire.
But nice build overall.
TY Vash,
Just wanted to say that for the last yr I been using my guardian and ranger and have neglected my favourite character which is my Mesmer. About 2 months ago I came across some of your old videos and started to learn how to really use my mesmer and thanks to you I’ve been using her non stop now. Another great tactic video.
Much appreciated.

According to wiki it doesn’t work for illusions.
“The damage bonus for six superior runes applies for any summoned pet, such as Glyph of Elementals or Sigil of Demon Summoning, but not for illusions.”
Nm, forget I said anything, it’s getting hotfixed.
I’ll refrain from commentary here, because I’d get permabanned from these forums.
Can I ask what it is they intend to change, love?
Power block will no longer affect ressing and stomping. I’ve also heard that the devs consider blocking aa’s and thief skills as unintended behavior, so I’ll assume they’re removing that as well.
Which thief skill we referring too?
All thief weapon skills have 0 cooldown. According to how this trait was unveiled it was supposed to add +5s to cooldown skills. This means that all thief weapon skills will be immune to this now… Which is absolutely kitten. This trait gave us a reminder of what it used to be to be a mesmer, We were actually able to hold back the thieves. I guess it is by design though that thieves are to be the apex predator…
oh didn’t know that. Haven’t played with a thief lol. I thought it just a 10sec CD to just 1 skill. but its doing it to all?

Hi Peeps,
May be a dumb question, I want to assume the answer is that there is no relation but just wanted to confirm.
When you shatter a clone/phantasm, that DOES NOT proc the “when they are killed” effect correct?
Sorry if its a dumb question.
Why is it that I don’t have to listen to enemies chirp or cry via map chat in WvW but I do in PvP? Just asking out of curiosity. Last night I killed a thief and warrior in a 2v1 and bout 5 min later they got me back and started spamming ignorant comments for no reason at all. Gets irritating after awhile. I know I could filter what I see but it’ll still pop up above their heads.
